The Caves and Cave Dwellers.

One of the curiosities of Vicksburg during
the siege was the caves and the cave dwellers
There was no lack of hills in the city, and
into these the observation-disclosures espe-
cially-burrowed like rats. And here they
ate, drank and slept and-sometimes died.
OF course these places were of oil sizes, big
and little, some mere holes and others very
commodious habitations containing a number
of rooms. The size or style of the house de-
pended entirely upon the whim or wants of
the builder. The best were dug on the steep,
straight sides of the highest hills, through
which they sometimes extended, with several
entries and exits by which one might have
some chance of escape in case of danger. The
most of them, however, were the veriest
death traps. A cave in was a matter Of fire.
quent occurrence, as the fall of a shell on the
top of one of these hills was almost sure to
bring down the upper part Of the cave. One
night, during heavy bombardment, the
Rev. Mr.. Lord came to Mrs. Eggleston's and
asked permission to stay there all night His
cave had fallen in and one of his children had
been buried in it. The child was rescued
alive after considerable dificulty.-W. G.

Rather Too Much Reality.

OF the 200, 900 people who admired the mag
nificent chariot in which the fire king rode at
the storming Of the ice castle, only few
knew of the semi-comical adventure some of
the carnival directors had with the vehicle
just before the carnival opened. On the Sat
urday before the opening Of the carnival it
occurred to Manager Van Slyke thet he had
better make trial of the chariot to see that
it was in good running order. It was brought
and team of horses hitched to it. Daniel
Moon was prevailed on to impersonate the
fire king.
Mounted on his throne, the amateur fiery
monarch was being driven in royal state to-
ward the palace grounds, when the fore run
ners of the vehicle suddenly dropped into a
rut and pitched the gasoline tark forward,
which had been negligently left uncovered.
Mr.. Moon was suddenly impressed with the
belief that there had been a volcanic eruption
in that neighborhood and that he was the Ve-
suvius down whose sides the fiery lava was
pouring. 1t was close call for both himself
and the driver. BY dint Of exertion on the
part of Mr.. Van Slyke and the other gentle
men who composed the fire kings extempo-
rized body guard, and by good deal of roll
ing in the snow and wrapping in blankets, the
amateur fire king and his characters were
rescued. But there was some scorched hair
and eyebrows and seven pairs Of spang new
blankets burned in few moments. st. Paul

yourself in this fashion," "Simply to get

DANGERS OF INTERPOLATION.

Uses Of Hypnotism in tho Treatment Of
Imbecile or Refractory Children.
At late meeting Of the association OF
scientists at the congress Of Nancy, France,
nine papers were read by members, illustrnt-
ing in the most vivid terms various phases OF
this subject. It had been found effective in
the cure Of lunacy, and In controlling tho
natural habit Of mind and strength OF will
exhibited in a normal state. M. Liegeois,
professor Of law, IN summary OF Mgges-
tions, pointed to the danger to humanity
from the exercise Of the hypnotic power.
The subject may be made the victim Of all
manner Of hallucination, and be reduced to a
condition in which he is incapable OF defense
against criminal violence, and In which the
most serious acts committed against him,
leave no impression upon his memory after
he Is recalled to the natural state. He may
receive suggestions tending to the commits
sion Of any given crime or misdemeanor after
the lapse of several hours or days, and he will
commit the act at the appointed time with
fatal certainty. The conclusions were that
the persons suggesting n crime to hypnot-
lied subject should be held responsible for it
to the law, and that hypnotization should not
be permitted, save in the presence Of wit
ness in whom entire confidence'is placed.
DR.. Liebeault, from experiments in seventy
seven cases, was enabled to say that hypnotic
treatment had been successful in curing chill
dren, adults and aged persons of weaknesses
in connection with the natural functions of
the body. By means of suggestion during
induced sleep he was enabled to re-establish
the disturbed harmony in every instance.
Dr. Berilon formulated the following con-
illusions in regard to the use Of hypnotism as
an educating influence: That in the treat
ment Of children who are merely INDECENT, in
docile or mediocre the power should be lin
tied to verbal suggestion in the wakeful state
the children being inspired with the most
perfect confidence. Each child should be iso-
lated, and, with hand placed upon its fore
head, should be addressed in language indi-
eating gentleness, precision and patience
The hypnotic state might be induced in the
treatment of children who are impY}sive, re-
fractory, incapable Of the least attention or
application and manifesting an irresistible
tendency toward evil. During the hypnotic
sleep the suggestions have more power. They
make a profound and desirable impression.
It is possible in many cases, by frequently re-
peating them, to develop the faculty Of at
tention in subjects hitherto intractable, to
correct bad tendencies and to recall to virtue
spirits which otherwise would be hopelessly
lost.-M. L. Holbrook in Herald of Health.

Intoxication Among Animals,


"The philosophers" says Houzeau "that as
sert that monkeys that have once used intoxi
eating liquors to excess will not touch them
again are more DESTROYS of giving us lesson
in morals than holding to the exact truth.
The majority of tame monkeys are fond OF
wine and spirits. They help themselves when
they can. They enjoy getting drunk, and
some Of them become such sots that they re-
fuse to reform in spite of the most severe
punishment. Besides, their intoxication re-
sembles precisely that of man; their legs are
badly controlled, their tongue is thick and its
movements uncertain"
Moreover, this identity Of the effects Of in
toxication descends much lower in the animal
kingdom. Donkeys have been seen dead
drunk Horses get drunk: and if, as gen.
eral thing, dogs refuse wine, some Of them
are addicted to the use Of alcoholic beverages
when well sweetened and sufficiently diluted.

The Queen Of the Stage.
Sarah 8ernhardt,
MAKING A Tour OF TINS COUNTRY.

EVERYBODY who reads the papers
knows that Sarah Bernhardt is again
in the United States, once more re-.
peating her triumphs Of 1880-81. As
the greatest Of living actresses, she is
rightly placed among our series of
celebrities.
Sarah's mother was q Jewess, living
in Paris when her gifted daughter was
born. No mention is ever made of the
actresses father. It was in October,
1874, that Sarah was born. She was
christened in Roman Catholic church,
and schooled in convent for time.
When still quite young, she was taken
to Amsterdam to live with her mothers
mother. In her teens she returned to
Paris, where she lived in great pov-
erty, relieved by occasional visits to
the theatre. Her mother thought to
make seamstress of her, but Sarah's
bias for the stage overcame this in
tention, and the young woman was en-
tered pupil at the Conservatoire, where
she won the first prize for tragedy, and
thus earned the right to debut at the
Theatre Francois. Remarkable as it
may now seem, her earliest appear
ances were unsuccessful. She had been
in the profession more than eighteen
years before she was cast in Victor
Hugo's "Hernani. Then was her OPP
portunity. She took Paris by storm,
and her subsequent career has been q
succession of artistic triumphs. In 1879
she appeared in London; in the United
States, in 1S80-S1. She began brief
managerial experience in Paris in 1883,
and soon proved herself to be poor
business woman. Nature gave her
genius. but not financial ability. Since
the early summer last year she has been
on this continent. Sarah left her hus-
band-M. Damala, Greek, to whom
she was married in 1882-soon after the
ceremony. The Unmatched couple
have no child. Sarah's family, which
consists of several interesting young
people, came into the world long be-
fore their mothers marriage. A sister
